At $350, the AW2726DM is cheap enough that some people may choose to buy two for a dual monitor setup. I've recommended several OLED gaming monitors to readers over the years, and I've finally taken my own advice to buy one. Alienware's new 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED has all the features that I want and a low $350 price that was too tempting to ignore. The AW2726DM model has five things that make it stand out for the price: a 1440p QD-OLED screen with lush contrast, a fast 240Hz refresh rate, a semi-glossy screen coating to enhance details, a low-profile design without flashy RGB LEDs, and a great warranty (three years with coverage for burn-in). I've been using Alienware's new monitor for a couple days, and I've already spent hours with it play … Read the full story at The Verge.

The Swiss government will water down some of the changes it had planned to regulations affecting UBS Group AG , while sticking to broader demands in legislation for increased capital at the nation’s largest bank. Officials will allow UBS to continue counting deferred tax assets toward its regulatory capital and to write down software from that metric over a period of three years from 2029, the government said on Wednesday. The measures are contained in an executive order that is set to come into force from next year. The bigger-than-expected concessions set the scene for a legislative package due to go before the Swiss parliament later this year, which deals with the capital backing of UBS’s foreign units. While Switzerland is seeking to boost financial buffers against future crises like the one that sank Credit Suisse in 2023, UBS has fought back hard, arguing that its global competitiveness will be hurt. The proposed legislation, driven by Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter , requires that UBS back its foreign units with 100% capital at the parent bank, which so far has been the most controversial element for the lender. The change addresses a perceived weakness contributing to Credit Suisse’s demise, in which troubled foreign units couldn’t be sold without severely damaging the solvency of the parent bank. This part of the reform would foresee a rise in the capital requirements of UBS’s domestic parent bank of around $19 billion, according to the latest government estimate. Together both sets of measures add up to an extra capital requirement of around $20 billion. By offering concessions on the technical measures, the government is seeking to build political support for what it sees as an indispensable reform. A senior lawmaker has signaled that softening the ordinance could buy the government some goodwill on its broader package.

marrio31/iStock via Getty Images Market Review The Russell 1000 Value Index added to 2025's strong return with a modest gain in the first quarter, outperforming its growth peer, as geopolitical uncertainty put downward pressure on multiple expansion. Equity markets reversed course in the first quarter of 2026, as early optimism surrounding the ongoing megatrend in artificial intelligence (AI) and easier monetary policy yielded to geopolitical shocks and tighter financial conditions. While the AI megatrend remained intact, fears of AI disruption caused sharp sell-offs in stocks of asset-light businesses such as software. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady due to persistent inflation and economic uncertainty. The escalation of the U.S.-Iran war drove oil prices sharply higher and resulted in a shift to a risk-off market sentiment, which pressured economically sensitive stocks while buoying the Energy sector. During the quarter, the best-performing sectors in the Russell 1000 Value Index were Energy, Industrials and Consumer Staples, while the Financials sector ended the quarter with sharp a loss. The Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors finished modestly lower.

Siewwy84/iStock via Getty Images US retail sales rose in March, beating expectations and posting the strongest increase in more than three years, but a significant portion of the spending was driven by gasoline sales—an effect of the spike in energy costs due to the Iran war. The results raise a warning flag for the consumer sector at a time when a return to pre-war energy costs appears unlikely in the near term. On its face, the 1.7% increase in retail spending last month looks encouraging, marking a sharp acceleration from February’s 0.7% gain. Soaring gas prices were part of the mix, although the gains were broad‑based. “It’s a blowout retail sales figure for March,” wrote Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, in a report. “Stripping out the big surge in spending on gas due to the Middle East conflict, it’s a solid but more modest 0.6% increase.” Monthly comparisons can be misleading due to short‑term noise, so it’s useful to monitor the year‑over‑year trend. On that basis, spending was stable, rising 4.0% last month compared with the year‑ago level. An alternative measure of retail spending highlights a relatively robust trend. The Visa Spending Momentum Index rose to its highest level in four years in March. The benchmark, which measures the health of consumer spending, suggests that demand has been strengthening compared with recent history. One‑time effects from tax refunds may be a factor, notes Gary Schlossberg, global strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute. “Pressure on household budgets is being cushioned, for now, by sizable increases in tax refunds tied to last year’s legislation,” he wrote in a research note yesterday. James McCann, senior economist for investment strategy at Edward Jones, agrees. “Households remain resilient for now, potentially leaning on tax refunds and broader savings to keep spending in the face of the latest price squeeze,” he said. The caveat is that inflation is also a factor. March spending was cl...

Democrats Lose A Vital Propaganda Machine With The Fall Of The SPLC When creating a short list of nefarious NGOs that manipulate government policy and socially engineer public opinion, the Southern Poverty Law Center is usually near the top. The group has been fading in influence due to excessive exposure, with new and less visible left wing NGOs taking it's place. However, it remains a key pillar of the Democratic Party's propaganda machine and a poisonous cloud looming over grassroots conservative organization. News from the Trump FBI and DOJ indicates that this reign of political terror may finally be coming to an end. The Southern Poverty Law Center has been indicted on federal fraud charges that accuse it of illegally raising millions of dollars to pay informants in white supremacist and other extremist groups. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the SPLC used paid operatives within extremist circles to incite and intensify racial tensions, arguing the group fostered the very threats it claimed to fight. But why was an NGO allowed to operate like a covert federal agency for so long? These operations were essentially endorsed by the Democratic Party (as well as some Neo-Cons). One could say that the SPLC had two missions: First, to drum up hysteria among weak minded liberals and make them believe that there are malicious "hate groups" under every rock and behind every tree. Second, to make conservatives paranoid about informants when seeking to build political opposition movements. Sadly, to this day, the SPLC was rather successful in achieving both goals. The NGO's efforts to create a false model of "hate networks" (especially during the Obama years) was a primary impetus for the eventual rise of the woke activist movement from around 2012 onward. In other words, the insane cult obsessed with race and identity that plagues America today found its roots within the SPLC and their alliance with the Democratic Party. SPLC "informants" were a constant nuisance...

Swan theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon Gatiss is part Hitler, part Scrooge, part Trump in Seán Linnen’s circus-like production for the RSC Bertolt Brecht’s comic grotesque parable for Hitler’s rise to power has been compared to Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator , and there is something distinctly Chaplinesque in Mark Gatiss’s cartoon gangster. He is initially tragicomic as Arturo Ui, with his tramp-like clothing, powdered face and melancholy eyes. But he turns truly terrifying as Seán Linnen’s production for the Royal Shakespeare Company takes us through his thuggish ascendancy, Gatiss proving his ability to transform in a way that renders him almost unrecognisable here: part Hitler (signature moustache and hair), part Scrooge ( whom he has played on stage before ) and part ghoul. He gives Ui distinctive tics and a wavering accent that could be German, or American (mentioning no names). Continue reading...
